Superior Court Judgment Favors Solar Industry

Suffolk Superior Court Judge Edward P. Leibensperger issued his tightly reasoned 17 page decision late last week ; the full text was received today . He ordered the Massachusetts Board of State Electrical Examiners (BSEE) to declare that licensed general contractors in the state “may advertise and contract for PV System installations and sub contract with electricians” in effect restoring the pre 2009 harmony of trade cooperation under Massachusetts laws and regulations.

The BSEE made an unfortunate decision in 2009 to pirate all solar work for electricians only and made it worse by wasting taxpayer dollars in numerous enforcement actions and investigations of licensed Solar General Contractors the last three years.
